ll'ovall 'go/wm z't may-concern:

Beit known that I, WAYNE B. STAND@ Enix, a. citizen of the United .States of Ameru ica, 'and-resident of Meridian, in the county ,of Bosque 'and State of Texas, have invented Ycertain new and useful. Improvements in .Extension- BrooimHanilles, of wl'iich 'the following is n speeificetion.

` This vinvention `relates to extensions for .broom handles land devices of that cherrie- Yter, andthesiaid invention has for its object the provision of novel means whereby sex:-

tions of handles 'may be joined together for.V

increasing the length of the handle as when the broom is to'be used for cleenin walls, ceilings and the like and it may nrthermore` be employed for splicing broken or impaired" handles.

A furtherj object of this invention is to `provvide apclamp preferably having zin extension secured'permanently in place, the

ysaid. clamp heving' means whereby the sections thereof may he dra-iwn together to .create e rigid joint between the extension and' the'ordinnry handleof :i broom.

A further objeetofthis invention is to provide means whereby the members or seetions of theclamp may beexpeditionsly operated'- to produce the Clamping action.

and 'it is' fiirthermore an object vof this inventionv to provide a 'clamp with a tapered socketor v seat for the reception of the oreoin handle so that the said clamp may aecommodate itself' to handles, altliough-seid handles are vnot uniform in their cross, tionalaren throughout their lengths.

Tit/h the foregoing and other objects in View; they invention consists in the details of constructionA and in the arrangement ein! combination of parts to he hereinafter more fully fset forth :unl-claimed.

Indesciibing the invention in detail, rei"- eience will be had to the accompanying drawings forming part of this Specification wherein like cli.-iineters denote corresponding parts in the several views, and in whieh Figure 1 illustrates n view vin elevation of :L fragment of a broom handle sliowing the extension chimp und :i fragment of the extension nppliezl thereto. the seid chiiaip being'shown in section; Fig. view in elevation of oneof the damning Sections; and Fig. il illustrates ii sectional view on :i line mnrespomling with the iine 3-3 of Fig. '2.

two eiiiiiiping 'sections the socketor seat formed. by the two Chinn illustri-.tes i: i

n these drawings l denores a. broom handle, which as they are now mede is in# creased in thickness toward the end, thifis making what may he termed a flared handle; 5 illustrates a. fragment of en entension -for increasing the length of the said lienflle and and 'a' enote clamping seetions which are Secured to the handle hv 'ineens of the holt 8 which enters the apertures 9 and 10 so that as the seid holt is rotated, it draws the sections of the chimp together or releases the seid sections ne corfling te the direction of rotation of the bolt. The interior Surface of each chimp section is of novel-configuration in that it is increased in Width from the end toward the center poitionthereof so that when the ing sections is larger tio center of the clump than it is nt the end .thereof and :is

`explained heretofore, this is (ione to iceoininoflnte the broom handles which are new commonly made larger :it the top than et points .intermediate the length.

The extension 5 is likewise held by the chiinpinq sections also ii'nie for retaining the said extension in pince, in thatv enel; clamping section has :in aperture 1l for the reception of :i screw l2 which screw is embedded in the extension 'lhe nienipiilntiorof the clamping' seetions 'for the purpose of applying: r remoring the h'sfoon'i heiifle not interfere rfi h the anchorage hete-rmi ".o LM.

The clamping Sections preferably taper :it the'ends ns shown nt 13 and l, this being; :ieioznpiished by reducing the thickners of the dumps toward the ends; :rmi 'the ro sessies or inner seats of the clamping sections nre preferably so eirnnggjed that lwhen the demping sections are applied to the broom handle und lo the e :insioni there is :i space between Ythe edges e? the damping ser-tions to 'initzrioviient of one section with reintien the @trier under intim-.nre .5 the notion o lfhe screw 8.

ln un extensi seetioifs exi-ch her are broiight together,`

ind/ angl provision isf Usides, the .for the reception of the broom handle bein of increased aea of cross section' from t e end toward the center the'extension, one of said sections having a f threaded `aperture --and the other of said esectipns having Jan' 'aperture with plain tioned aperture Vand threaded the first mentioned aperture for drawing the clamp;

ing sections into engagement with the broom. l
